    Outright nazi russophobic product. The country's gaming company which fights for tolerance and equality of all races and nations around the world exposes one of the most numerous nations in the world as cruel tyrants, terrorists, murderers and rapists. It's disgusting.

If they have not been able to release anything good in six years, then there is no point in waiting for new games from them.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Had it not been for "grey morality" and "realism" marketing gimmicks, if IW said they make a classic COD plot full of cheesy BS set in a B-movie reality... That didn't happen and now many are spitting from what they got versus the promise.
    It's a COD 4 prequel with a classic crazy BS campaign: there's Kastovia (Donetsk Republic), Urzikstan (generalized Mideastern state retconned to be unnamed country of COD 4), Georgia, Russia and they’re all connected. A baddie Russian general Barkov that has lead a 20 year long Russian occupation of Urzikstan makes his own chemical weapon gas (!) in Georgia (!) and smuggles it to Kastovia, then to Urzikstan to use on civvies. CIA/MARSOC operators raid a Kastovian facility to confirm it but gas gets stolen presumably by baddie Urzikstan terror org Al-Qatala (COD way of spelling Al-Qaeda) but actually turns out to be a baddie splinter group of Urzikstan Liberation Force goodie rebels. Let’s fast forward to Urzikstan where a CIA operative wearing a plate carrier vest disguises himself with a black headscarf (!), openly walks around baddie Russian soldiers who search for rebels (!) and gets away with it (!).
    Enough with synopsis, you get how moronic the plot is from realism POV – same as old CODs, hence B-movie reality, not really your Zero Dark Thirty. It has always been this way to drop the jaw of generic Billy from Oregon and present a clear political message: wars are gritty but necessary and cool, there are baddies and goodies (sometimes goodies are not so goody but then baddies are even worse), NATO troops are generally world’s top goodies and they are almighty because they can pull off almost public black ops like a cakewalk in say Russia (MW shows firefight in Saint Petersburg’s major street because that’s how CIA/SAS operate), BTW you should enlist ASAP if you can.
    There are indeed some hints of "grey morality": that baddie splinter group of ULF goodies that stole the gas to use against its enemies – the baddie Russians/Al-Qatala. Or when NATO operatives do some minor morally questionable things like torturing an enemy for intel, pointing guns at his family to untie his tongue & etc. This kind of "grey morality" isn’t anything new to the series, I remember intel torture back in MW2 as well as other examples. Who is mostly exempt from "grey morality" are the Russians: they exploit, torture, burn, gas, hang and murder Urzikstani civvies for 20 years and we get aplenty exposition to witness it. "Mostly" because there are a few minor characters that are Russian but are goodies, the remaining vast majority are your literal SS Nazis. Plus it's implied several times that the baddie general Barkov is an acting member of the Russian military, though they "disown" him after his death, it’s clear they never did anything to stop him and this "disowning" business (to proclaim him a rogue general?) is obviously a PR damage control move from Moscow. Newsflash: Moscow is a baddie baddie, as most members of the "Nazi" Russian military.
    You don’t even get a trope about some soldiers not sharing the sketchy ideology of their command and showing signs of humanity – like "Nazi" pilot Franz Stigler who spared a wounded B-17 and escorted it to safety, or Cpt. Silas Soule and Lt. Joseph Cramer from First Colorado Cavalry who told their units to hold fire when ordered to shoot Indians during Indian Wars. That would have been *REAL* grey morality, as well as showing that NATO goodies do occasionally commit major cruel atrocities or use a falsely engineered casus belli to start a war. It’s kind of twisted to pretend that things like Haditha massacre or Abu-Ghraib torture didn’t happen by the hands of US in a country invaded after 9/11 without UNSC bill based on a fake chemical weapons sample tube "obtained there". Chemical weapons that were never found, but that ill-founded invasion with all its atrocities helped to spawn ISIS and consolidate many Muslims against everything "western". That generic Billy from Oregon may not know/remember/care for these facts, but I and many others genuinely upset by MW’s deceitful artistic representation of reality do – and the fact that IW markets it as something opposite contributes to the offense.
    If you have played MW, you know my attribution of "goodie" and "baddie" to MW factions is spot on – but in case with *REAL* grey morality that can’t happen per definition. The Expanse is a perfect example of proper grey morality: try to distinguish goodie and baddie factions there. Or Spec Ops: The Line which handles the premise of moral ambiguity like a boss: a feat that means even more if you compare its budget to MW's.
    And fake gun names, seriously? Bobby Kotick didn't spare few $K to license proper names as in the original trilogy? You get a lot of strong womyn though: CIA chief, army general, rebel leader. I’m surprised Cpt. Price isn’t Cpt. Rebecca Price wearing an LGBT patch because she/they/xe is openly lesbian.    … Expand

    An example of how a technically incomparable game, with amazing shooting and excellent staging of most of the single scenes that really make you feel uncomfortable with the trek, is broken up by the Russophobic script and Nazism of the publishers.

    I will split this into 2 parts.
    Campaign and Multiplayer.
    Campaign: You feel slow and clunky, your health is extremely limited. If you ever wanted to be the equivalent of a paper thin soldier, this is for you.

    Campaign:
    You feel slow and clunky, your health is extremely limited. If you ever wanted to be the equivalent of a paper thin soldier, this is for you.
    The missions are very short and you can easily play though the game in 4 hours or less depending on how fast you go.

    It also sucks as the main enemies of the game are either terrorists, or a literal walking propaganda statement against **** Russians.

    Russian lads, I’m sorry this game was just a hate message to you guys, I have no clue why Libertarian Americans just hate you guys but **** would I be pissed too if my own country was dissed through a game in a modern era. I can’t really name anything you guys have done to really **** on Americans. TL;DR **** politics in games, everyone deserves a fun environment to play games in. If you don’t meet that expectation, should it be even called a game?

    Multiplayer:
    If you wanted a camping simulator with the worst maps available and some of the worst TTK I’ve seen since Ghosts, THIS IS FOR YOU.
    You get punished if you rush, but you are rewarded for camping? Your mini-map is also very small and irrelevant! You don’t even see red dots when people fire anymore! Your own guy always says “CONTACT!” when someone is seen and it’s global so they also can hear it. Footsteps are loud and claymores are the most used lethal in the game. My suggested fixes:
    • Nerf M4A1
    • Fix Ghost
    • Make Dead Silence a PERK
    • Up the movement speed
    • Create an awareness like perk so you can lower sounds for footsteps
    • Have red dots show up on map so you can ac to actually have incentive to use the Suppressor!
    • Reduce map sizes depending on the mode
    • Enlargen the mini-map
    • Fix Spawns
    • Add more modes like Hardpoint so you don’t have to camp to win!
    • Let you stay in lobbies after a match
    • Larger party size for modes like ground war or 10v10
    • Fix the Xbox crashing issue.
    • Lobby Map Voting
    • Make some scorestreaks default.
    • End Skill Based Matchmaking
    • Add Deaths and Captures to the Leaderboard on TDM and Domination.

    See the problem? Or should I say problems? Really emphasize how plural that is.

    The only things I like about multiplayer is:
    • Ground War
    • Gunfight 2v2
    • Operators
    • How fluid the weapons are

    This game has a major problem and it needs a fix now.

    If it doesn’t get fixed soon, IW already knows protest may ensue, and we’ll have another Destiny 2 situation on our hands with refunds galore.

    Final Verdict: I’d rather play BF4 for a few more years because it’s still more refined than this game. Scratch that, go play that one, it’s more fun and you’ll have countless hours on there with the lads. Plus you get incentive to grind and you have a lot of content to go through.    … Expand

    The multiplayer sucks. You can’t do anything if you’re spawn trapped. When you die you spawn all the way in the back of the map which isn’t helpful because these are the worst maps I have ever played on in my life. And that’s including all games.

    Disappointed with this game, and studio. Due to the fact that Activision and Infinity Ward were too cheap to put the game on two discs, this game took roughly 8 hours to install. I finally get it installed, and the game feels like a poorly executed Battlefield 5 knock off. This will be the last COD game I ever buy.

    How much are Activision taking to shill for the US D.O.D? Not content with suckering little kiddies into the armed forces with a totally false representation of warfare. We get this.

    I'm a huge Infinity Ward fan boy, but this game is pretty bad. The maps are way too big. People are camping in buildings, and windows. There is no flow whatsoever. I'm shocked that Infinity Ward put out such a bad game man. I don't know if they're even going to be able to do anything to fix it. There's a reason this game only got 3.4 user score.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A lot of people are saying this is anti-Russian propaganda? Ignore that noise, this is an actual review. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is not a great game or a good game, it's an ok game with a lot of problematic issues that no AAA game in 2019 should have. I'll start by talking about the general gameplay "improvements." At first Modern Warfare's new lighting, animations, and sound effects give the indication that you are playing a new and revamped Call of Duty game, this is reinforced by the ability to use night vision, clammer, and peek through doors. However underneath these mostly useless mechanics and the deceiving facelifts it's still the same shooter as Black Ops 4 and Modern Warfare (2007) Remastered.

    In multiplayer this years entry still has all the same problems aim stutter, server input delays, spawn killing, run and gun spam, it's a gameplay loop that frankly has grown tired and it really is telling of Call of Duty's age. In multiplayer specifically, the larger maps don't remedy any of these issues in fact they create new ones like camping and increased likeliness afk teammates. The smaller maps are all uninspired and frankly it's weird we didn't get the greatest hits of all the old Modern Warfare maps.

    Now I'm going to talk about the campaign, it's just not very good. There's one mission in the middle of the game that slightly surprised me but the novelty of taking a break from shooting in one mission and guiding a civilian to a safe place wore off on me very quickly. Most of the other missions try to shock and grab the interest of the player by having you witness something shocking through the eyes of characters ranging from bystandards to terrorists, it's not shocking or very interesting. We've seen this pov of terrorists and their victims in video games and movies before and I fail to see how this does it in a new or provocative way. In other missions, the game will try to "surprise" you by taking a cue from the page of American Sniper, you'll occasionally have to shoot enemy combatants who happen to be children or women. I know some people have said that this is in poor taste or promotes violence against women, and I definitely disagree with that, but frankly, it doesn't add to or make the experience better. It's a frustrating moment that slows night sections of the game to a snail's pace, has very little with the overarching story, and frankly yeah hurting children will just make some people uncomfortable regardless of political affiliation. Real soldiers in my family have experienced this and I know that it's something they never wanted to see in the service. I assume some group of edgelords will find joy in these moments, they are the scum of the Earth, that is what I have to say on that subject.

    Finally, I want to examine the story's use of Russian and Muslim fighters in the game. A lot of people are saying this game is Democratic propaganda because it portrays Russians as "evil" and supposedly sets back stereotypes of Russians many years while at the same time portraying Muslims in too positive of a light and rewriting history. This is blatantly false. The Call of Duty games have always sided with the US in their FICTIONAL portrayals of conflicts with Russia, it seems people have forgotten this in recent years because the threats of the last three Call of Duty games were futuristic ethnically diverse private armies. With Russia becoming a more prominent threat to the security of the US and the United Nations IRL in the past few years it makes sense that Russia was chosen as the villain in this Call of Duty game. Does it have the twists and turns of the original trilogy? No. Is it as well done? No. It's doing its own thing for better or for worse. I don't know why pro-Russia groups in the US and Russia suddenly think this game should appeal to them, it never has and never will, Call of Duty has and always will have a pro-US narrative. Regardless of how I feel about people trying to insert their weird pro-Russia politics into the discussion surrounding this game, I think this is just a passable uninspired Call od Duty campaign that relies on shock value and Captain Price nostalgia. It's no good.

    The gameplay here is as solid (and outdated) as it was 10 years ago, and the rest is a mediocre cookie-cutter shooter that's only claim-to-fame is being in a series that is way past due for retirement; and strangely this year, in particular, having a very vocal pro-Russian national group try and hijack the dialogue to manipulate modern-American conservatives. I find this ironic because my conservative friends have been hyping this game for it's unapologetic and gruesome nature. It goes to show that when you try to shove your political identity into art like this you just create a confusing mess of controversy that was frankly never necessary, and only serves to generate more interest and profits for Activision Blizzard.    … Expand

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare serves up the freshest take on a stale formula in years, with a new engine and revitalised multiplayer mode that takes full advantage of a finely-tuned weapon customisation system and some welcome changes to ballistic mechanics. While Spec Ops fails to deliver much long-term attraction, the story mode proves there’s plenty of justification for a narrative element in a modern shooter. Free maps and updates bring everyone onto the same page in multiplayer, but Infinity Ward's take on the battle pass template still needs some work.

    If you don’t mind being killed by the odd nuke – how anyone can score 30 consecutive kills is beyond our tiny minds – PvP could swallow your damn life. Pair it with a gutsy (if insensitive) campaign, and this tonally conflicted series continues to stay relevant thanks to the best guns in the biz. [Issue#184, p.68]
